@alexheuer @AntonioFrench @GovJayNixon that statement is a LIE! The police officer was hit by the brick was the night before MHP took over!

Are there any actual reports of shots fired yesterday? Or assaults? This reeks of bullcrap.

1. These idiots have war toys and want to wear their toys

Last night was a great deal more peaceful without the war toys. These idiots have some toys and want to use them

2. Oh My

Militarization is the goal for many.

3. The whole St Louis County PD needs to be pulled from duty...

...and put under review by the USDOJ. Or Serpico needs to join the force and turn them inside out...

4. Aw, poor little bullies, someone stopped them from bullying people for a while.

They would have to have established some kind of credibility with the citizens of Ferguson for their appeal to THEM to have any impact.

Keep them AWAY, everything is far better without them.

5. such ignorance

should not be allowed to police they obviously don't understand how inept they are

6. Law enforcement should have no right to unionize.

Agents of the state do not need such protection.

7. Well tough shit, he's the governor

the top dog, the big cheese, the boss.

Anyone who has a problem with that can quit.

8. There were more reporters assaulted by the St. Louis County

Police than by any of the protesters, on any day so far.

9. we need armor because see! he was hit and without armor he was not seriously injured!

no, really!

to support their argument that they need helmets and shields, they point out that when one of them had a brick thrown at them, the helmets and shields proved unnecessary.

10. The police think they're the only ones that should assault innocent bystanders. n/t
